First Teaser for Pixar's 'The Good Dinosaur' Directed by Peter Sohn

"What if…" Disney-Pixar has finally debuted the teaser trailer for Peter Sohn's The Good Dinosaur, the next animated movie from Pixar due out in theaters later this year. Pixar's Inside Out is coming up in just a few weeks, and it's likely this teaser is attached to that release. This is the same teaser that Disney has been showing, setting up the basic backstory for the movie. What if the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs didn't actually hit Earth, and they went on to live for years, what would be different? Well, people would be pets, dinosaurs would be the dominate species. There's a hint at that story in the footage at the end. Fire it up!

Here's the first teaser trailer for Pixar's The Good Dinosaur, originally from Yahoo:

The Good Dinosaur is directed by Peter Sohn (director of Partly Cloudy, animator on The Incredibles and WALL-E). Dinosaurs are the dominant species on Earth (since the asteroid missed and they lived on for millions of years). One day one of the dinos, named Arlo (voiced by Raymond Ochoa) discovers a human toddler that isn't afraid of these creatures, and they adopt him as their pet. A.J. Buckley and Anna Paquin voice the T-Rex's Nash and Ramsey, while Jeffrey Wright and Frances McDormand voice Arlo's Poppa and Momma. Disney will release Pixar's The Good Dinosaur in theaters everywhere starting November 25th.

It's made to look a bit more earnest but with some humor, but I'm wondering if it will just turn into a goofball comedy like Cars or something. If so that might be fine, but revealing it this way could make it a letdown.

But was the first "Cars" really a goofball comedy?

I dunno, I shouldn't have phrased it that way because I haven't seen Cars.
I just don't know how much the tone of this trailer will reflect the final movie. That can be common I guess, but this looks so great.

I think most people's problem with "Cars" was that it was so much *duller* and less imaginative than Pixar's efforts prior to it (I love "Cars," to be clear. "Cars 2" is the real goofball comedy.)
This trailer is so short that I'm sure it doesn't quite show off the tone of the final film. Most Pixar trailers are vague about tone, but provide us with a very basic idea of what we're going to see. "Toys come to life!" "The last robot on Earth!" "Monsters!" "A grumpy man and some balloons!" "The voices in your head!"
We'll see. I'm cautiously optimistic.
On an unrelated note, I dig the juxtaposition of the super-cartoony designs and the lifelike rendering.

One could consider this a belated sequel to The Rite of Spring (Stravinsky) segment of Fantasia. 😉 Walt Disney would be proud.

I wonder if they will even have a "Baddie" character in this film? It looks cute.
